Kosmic Racing Australia wins the perpetual Franco Guaitoli Memorial Shield two years running.

For the team this achievement by both Cian Fothergill and now Dimitri Agathos makes everyone involved in the team very proud.

It once again proves that our technical equipment provides our drivers with the best chance of winning. This win is not just another podium for the team, this race meeting has a special place within the team as we remember Franco. Also for young Dimitri the win has proved to not only everyone but more importantly him that he is a champion and that all the hard work is now starting to pay off. For both Dimitri and Josh Smith their recent trip to compete in the CIK-FIA European KF Championships has given them the confidence to believe that they can win. This was clearly evident in the way both drivers drove at round four. Unfortunately for Josh his engine issue with one lap remaining robbed him of second place and the team of a one-two finish.

In an added bonus for the team Matthew Waters came away from the meeting leading the Championship.
